< Job 18 >

1 And Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,
तब बिल्दद शुहीले जवाफ दिए र भने,
2 How long will ye hunt for words? Be intelligent, and then we will speak.
“आफ्नो कुरा तपाईं कहिले बन्द गर्नुहुन्छ? विचार गर्नुहोस्, र त्यसपछि हामी बोल्नेछौं ।
3 Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed stupid in your sight?
तपाईंको दृष्‍टिमा हामीलाई किन जङ्गली पशुहरू जस्‍तै मूर्ख छौं?
4 Thou that tearest thyself in thine anger, shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of its place?
तपाईंले आफ्नो रिसमा आफैलाई छिया-छिया पार्नुहुन्छ, के तपाईंको निम्‍ति पृथ्वीलाई त्यागिदिने? वा चट्टानहरूलाई तिनीहरूका ठाउँबाट हटाइदिने?
5 Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the flame of his fire shall not shine.
वास्तवमा दुष्‍ट व्यक्तिको बत्ती निभाइनेछ । उसको आगोको ज्वाला बल्नेछैन ।
6 The light shall become dark in his tent, and his lamp over him shall be put out.
उसको पालमा ज्योति नै अँध्यारो हुनेछ । ऊमाथि रहेको उसको बत्ती निभाइनेछ ।
7 The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.
उसको शक्तिका पाइलाहरू छोटा बनाइनेछन् । उसका आफ्नै योजनाहरूले उसलाई तल पार्नेछन् ।
8 For he is sent into the net by his own feet, and he walketh on the meshes;
किनकि उसको आफ्नै खुट्टाले उसलाई जालमा फल्‍नेछ । ऊ खल्‍डोतिर भौंतारिंदै जानेछ ।
9 The gin taketh [him] by the heel, the snare layeth hold on him;
पासोले त्यसलाई कुर्कुच्‍चोमा समात्‍ने छ । जालले त्यसलाई पसाउनेछ ।
10 A cord is hidden for him in the ground, and his trap in the way.
उसको लागि जमिनमा एउटा पासो लुकाइएको छ । अनि एउटा पासोले उसलाई समात्‍नेछ ।
11 Terrors make him afraid on every side, and chase him at his footsteps.
त्रासहरूले चारैतिरबाट उसलाई डरमा पार्नेछन् । तिनले उसलाई पछिपछि खेद्‍नेछन् ।
12 His strength is hunger-bitten, and calamity is ready at his side.
उसको धन-सम्पत्तिले भोकमा पुर्‍याउनेछ, र विपत्तिले उसको छेउमै पर्खिनेछ ।
13 The firstborn of death devoureth the members of his body; it will devour his members.
उसको शरीरका अंगहरू नष्‍ट पारिनेछन् । वास्तवमा, मृत्युको जेठो सन्तानले उसका अंगहरू निल्नेछ ।
14 His confidence shall be rooted out of his tent, and it shall lead him away to the king of terrors:
आफ्‍नो पालको सुरक्षाबाट उसलाई घिस्‍याइन्‍छ, र त्रासको राजाकहाँ लगिन्‍छ ।
15 They who are none of his shall dwell in his tent; brimstone shall be showered upon his habitation:
अपरिचित मानिसहरूले उसको घरभित्र गन्धक छरेको देखेपछि, तिनीहरू उसको पालमा बस्‍ने छैनन् ।
16 His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off;
उसका जराहरू तलतिरका नै सुक्‍नेछन् । माथिको उसको हाँगा काटिनेछ ।
17 His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name on the pasture-grounds.
पृथ्वीबाट उसको सम्झना लुप्‍त हुनेछ । सडकमा उसको कुनै नाउँ हुनेछैन ।
18 He is driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
उसलाई उज्यालोबाट अँध्यारोमा धपाइनेछ, र यस संसारबाट लखेटिनेछ ।
19 He hath neither son nor grandson among his people, nor any remaining in the places of his sojourn.
उसका मानिसका बिचमा उसको छोरो वा नाति हुनेछैन, न त ऊ बसेको ठाउँमा कुनै आफन्त हुनेछ ।
20 They that come after shall be astonished at his day, as they that went before [them] were affrighted.
एक दिन उसलाई जे हुन्छ, त्यसमा पश्‍चिममा बस्‍नेहरू मानिसहरू आतङ्कित हुनेछन् भने, पूर्वमा बस्‍नेहरू त्‍यसमा त्रसित हुनेछन् ।
21 Surely, such are the dwellings of the unrighteous man, and such the place of him that knoweth not God.
निश्‍चय नै अधर्मी मानिसहरूका घरहरू यस्तै हुन्‍छन् । परमेश्‍वरलाई नचिन्‍नेहरूका ठाउँहरू यस्तै हुने छन् ।
